Lotus back in formula 1
Discussion
Hi everybody,
yesterday evening there was a message broadcasted on the DSF (a german sports channel). The headline was: Lotus sensationally could be back soon in formula 1! This is no joke!!! It was announced, that the BAR-Team is trying to get Lotus in their boat in 2003.
What do you think??
I´m interested if there are any rumours concerning these facts in England.
As I´m a Lotus enthusiast and since a few weeks proud owner of a Lotus S2 :-)))))) I wish on one hand, that Lotus really is coming back in formula 1. On the other hand I don´t know, if this is really a good idea, as Lotus is struggling to keep alive at the moment.
Let me hear your opinions,
Mike

Hi podie,
yes its true, Lotus is not owner of the name "Team Lotus", as I have heard. But on the DSF-channel, they did not speak of "Team Lotus". This may be a mistake, because Lotus is not too well known here in Germany. But the fact, that Lotus cars/Lotus engineering is not owner of the name "Team Lotus" does not mean, they can not participate in formula 1. If the new name of the BAR-Team ist Lotus-BAR or there is no change of the name (remember BAR means British-American Racing) at all, Lotus has no problem and does not break the rights on the name "Team Lotus".
Hope, I got this correct. If not, would anybody please explain the facts concerning the name " Team Lotus".

On the DSF-site there are more infos concerning the comeback of Lotus. And as far as I have understood there shall be a completely new name before 2006.

I would have translated this for you, but my English is too bad to do so. Perhaps anybody of you can do the job and post the complete story here.
